Part of Red Library's Revolutionary Politics in Central and South America and Real Philosophy Hourz Series
We are joined by Comrade/Patron Brant of Houston Review of Books to tackle George Ciccarielo-Maher's Decolonizing Dialectics and get into some real theoretical ICY COLD TAKES in the library this week.
We discuss the relationship between dialectics and decolonization, postcolonialism and decolonial theory, Frantz Fanon, Enrique Dussel, try to recuperate Georges Sorel for today's Left a bit, universals, and the dialectic being mobile and armed in Venezuela under Chavez.
This one is THICC, SPICY, and ICE COLD, comrades!
